Works for erosion prevention.</p> <p>City of Edinburgh Council wrote:</p> <p>"I write to inform you of upcoming improvement works along the Water of Leith between Roseburn Cliff and Wester Coates. These works will help prevent erosion from the banking and provide protection to the water of Leith Walkway while also continuing to provide vital habitat for the diverse plant and animal life within the river corridor. </p> <p>The works are due to commence in July, a start date will be confirmed in due course. Works will take approximately two months to complete. During this time, the section of the Water of Leith Walkway between Roseburn Cliff and Wester Coates, including the access path to/from Wester Coates Gardens, will be closed to all pedestrians and cyclists.</p> <p>It is recognised that these works will cause disruption to local residents, I apologise for the inconvenience these works will cause but hope that you will appreciate the greater long-term benefits of this project and encourage all users, for their safety and the safety or our contractors, to respect the closure and use an alternative route."</p> <p><a href="https://murrayfieldcc.org.uk/river-walkway-closure-roseburn-cliff-wester-coates" rel="nofollow">https://murrayfieldcc.org.uk/river-walkway-closure-roseburn-cliff-wester-coates</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12530#post-148037 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 08:03:14 +0000 Radgeworks 148037@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dear All</p> <p>Over the weekend the west coates access to the NEPN, roseburn terrace/kew gardens junction are restricted by the 1 lane east and west roadworks on the A8. Please note that the workies have helpfully left the roadworks signs in the Eastbound cycle lane, also i found cycling inside the coned off area safer than mixing it with the laned traffic. There is plenty room to move safely and your nowhere near the roadworks.<br /> You can see they have stripped the tarmac back the original setts, interesting.<br /> Radgewroks </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9478#post-100004 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:09:22 +0000 Instography 100004@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looked like a serious incident on the path at about 7.35-7.45. Rider with nasty looking head injury lying in recovery position to the side. Bikes stopped on either side taking care. No obvious reason - no other mangled bikes or injured riders. Guessing perhaps tree debris in spokes but only because I've been avoiding twigs and branches left over from tree thinning recently. Hope the guy's OK. </p>
